AGENCY:

l ACTION:
Advance notice of proposed rulemaking:
Extension of coment period.
SUMMARY
- On February 27, 1987, the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) pub-lished for comment an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) indicating its intention to amend the definition of "high-level radioactive waste" (HLW) in its regulations governing disposal of HLW (52 FR 5992). The notice proposed to revise this definition to conform more closely to the statutory definition of HLW in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The coment period for the notice expired April 29, 1987. The NRC has received a request for a 60-day extension of the comment period. This request indicate:- that the public needs additional time to examine and prepare comments on the numerous legal and technical considerations in a proposed rulemaking of this scope. The NRC agrees that additional time may be needed to prepare coments on an issue o' this scope, and, therefore, extends for 60 days the original coment period to June 29, 1987.
DATES:
Submit coments by June 29, 1987, a 60-day extension of the original coment period. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given except as to coments received before this date.
